Boss Brunch

If you are looking for a weekend plan in Brighton that combines a sit-down meal with live entertainment, the Boss Brunch at the Komedia Basement on Gardner Street is currently on the calendar for later this year. It is a drag-focused event that runs from midday until the mid-afternoon, specifically scheduled for Saturday, 12 September, and Saturday, 10 October 2026. Doors open at 12:00 pm, with the show starting shortly after at 12:30 pm, and the whole experience wraps up by 4:00 pm.

The format is fairly structured, which is helpful if you are planning a group outing. The ticket price is set at £39.50, and this covers the brunch itself, a 90-minute window of bottomless selected drinks—running from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm—and the performance. The menu offers four different options, including vegetarian and vegan choices, so there is some flexibility depending on dietary preferences. Since this is a ticketed event, you will need to book in advance, either by emailing tickets@komedia.co.uk or calling 01273 647100, especially if you are coordinating a larger group.

As for the entertainment, the show lasts over 90 minutes and features a lineup that includes the host, Boss, alongside performers Tayris Mongardi, Inga 'the Winged Woman' Rock, Glew, Alik, and Coco Couture. The performance consists of lip-syncing, dance routines, and comedy. It is worth noting that this is strictly an 18+ event, so you will need to have ID ready. The organisers generally suggest staying for the duration of the show out of respect for the performers, so it is worth keeping that in mind when you are planning your afternoon in the city.
